Dandelion Girls, Dandelion Boys lyrics

Happy early birthdays

We blew out the candles, grassland cakes

Our wishes held on parachutes

Gliding through the wind, our youth

Congratulations, you’ve been chosen

Here’s a pistol matching your mittens

I thought to myself “it doesn’t suit you at all”

I shall carry on all this weight

Leading me through the way, was your cherry blushing face

If it meant that you could live your life again

I’ll gladly give mine in

Carrying hope, you sailed away

Whose tears salted the waters, keeping you up afloat from the ocean bed?

Secretly, secretly, I prayed for a storm to set you back

Whose fault is it that our seeds have spread too far, leaving us nowhere to bloom?

Yet the dandelions grew

No more airplanes to fly, ships to sink

Stuffing my plywood swimming coffin

To ocean the railway extends

Over the sea, that’ll be where I’ll proudly be expensed

From up there, we must not look human anymore

Another stage to premier your force

On those monitors, are we just a little piece of white fluff?

Blown off on to the floor

With a white cloth on your back, you returned to me at last

Whose child was I dreaming to pierce through the unworn tip of my bayonet?

Whose life have I decided was less worthy of respect?

Whose home did I hope to reach as I tighten the screws on balloons in lead?

Whose future was lost in pursuit of mine?

Yet the dandelions ate, slept, and grew

The truth is, the world isn’t so small we need to step on each other

But I know even if it’s only the two of us

Even if we have everything, everything in our hands

Still we’d fight until our last

Prove me wrong

Prove me wrong

Prove me wrong
